Steel Resolve

Mary Cardwell Savage never meant to send that letter to Chase Steele. How could she know her words would bring him back to Big Sky, Montana—with an unstable and dangerous stalker following close behind? Now Chase wants to prove that their love deserves a second chance. This time, nothing will keep him from his heart’s desire…not even a killer.

Crime Scene at Cardwell Ranch

Dana Cardwell hoped never to lay eyes on Hudson Savage again. Until a bunch of old bones turn up on her family ranch. Now the interim marshal, Hud, is back in her life to investigate the decades-old crime. And Dana is the unsuspecting target of a killer in the canyon—and on round-the-clock watch for Hud’s heartload of regret.

Reviews

[Judy]

This is really good. Chase and Mary grow up in neighboring ranches, but Chase feels he needs to grow up somewhere else, so he leaves, but later regrets it. He's by trade a finishing carpenter so he works all over. His new boss is Rick who invites him over for dinner, he gets a little snockered and picks up a girl named Fiona, but she's crazy as a loon. Believes every one wants to be laid anf if not she kills them. It gets messy, but eventually Chase gets back to Mary, but not before Fiona becomes Mary's new friend!
